Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Minced meat (lamb or beef)
- 2 medium, finely chopped Onion
- 2 medium, finely chopped Tomato
- 4 cloves, minced Garlic
- 1 inch, grated Ginger
- 2 small, slit Green chilies
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1 teaspoon (to taste) Salt
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh cilantro
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan or pot over medium heat.
Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for 30 seconds until aromatic.
Stir in the chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and slit green chilies to the onions. Sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Mix in the turmeric powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, and salt. Stir well to coat the onions in the spices.
Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they become soft and form a thick paste, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced meat to the pan and break it up with a spoon or spatula. Cook until the meat is no longer pink, about 7-10 minutes.
Pour in the water and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cover and cook on low heat for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the meat to become tender.
Sprinkle garam masala over the curry and stir to combine.
Turn off the heat and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lemon juice.
Serve hot with steamed rice, naan, or roti for a delicious and satisfying meal.
